Susanne Asman provides a compelling ethnographic account of how
Tamang women and men in the Sindhupalchowk district, defined by
human rights horganizations as severely affected by sex
trafficking, understand what they define as "Bombay going" or
migration for sex work. This ground-breaking work focuses on
women's agency and the meaning they ascribe to their roles as sex
workers in the migratory process in the present and the past. Asman
investigates how they carve out a space for themselves and create
relatedness in the places between which they move-their house in
the rural area in Nepal and the brothels in Mumbai that temporarily
serve as their homes during their absence. This book is essential
reading for anyone interested in the politics of sex trafficking,
gender, agency and women's migration for sex work in the global
south.
